Abstract

In the new era of Cognitive Computing we have the possibility and obligation to use in a better way the large amount of information available. Thanks to the powerful Cloud architecture and supporting cutting-edge technologies, we look for ways to improve our environment, and consequently the cities, the most natural social environment. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that two-thirds of the population will live in cities by 2050. This significant increase in urbanization in these recent years has become a major workload for many city systems, among others the system of mobility. Thanks to the use of cognitive computing and analytical tools, we will find new strategies of economic development that promote the growth, reduce the poverty and protect the environment at the same time.
